People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic
fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker
could cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure.
In
addition, people with
pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical
shock.
• Properly ground power cord.
Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter
(
GFCI
)
should also be implemented – it
prevents

WARNING: Some
dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities,
contain
s
chemicals known [to the State of California]
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these
chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or
other
masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically
treated
lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated
or
long
-
term
exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should
not
use
this
tool.
If
you
feel
any
symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as
possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4.
Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a
choice.
5.
Include vibration-free periods
each day of work.
6.
Grip tool as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control
of
it).
Let the tool do the work.
7.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If
any
abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
